1 Wa 21
1 Apre tout bagay sa yo, men sa ki rive: Nan lavil Jizreyèl, toupre palè wa Akab la, te gen yon jaden rezen ki te pou yon nonm yo te rele Nabòt.
And Achaab numbered the young men the heads of the districts, and they were two hundred and thirty: and afterwards he numbered the people, [even] every man fit for war, seven thousand.
2 Yon jou, wa Akab di Nabòt konsa: -Ban m' jaden rezen ou lan pou m' ka fè yon jaden legim. Li toupre kay mwen. m'a ba ou yon lòt jaden rezen ki pi bon pase sa a. Osinon si ou pito, m'a ba ou yon bon pri pou li.
And he went forth at noon, an the son of Ader was drinking [and] getting drunk in Socchoth, he and the kings, [even] thirty and two kings, his allies.
3 Men, Nabòt reponn Akab: -Se tè eritaj li ye. Dapre lalwa Seyè a, mwen pa gen dwa vann ou li.
And the young men the heads of the districts went forth first; and they send and report to the king of Syria, saying, There are men come forth out of Samaria.
4 Akab al lakay li men li byen mare. Li te fache poutèt Nabòt te di l' li p'ap vann byen eritaj li a. Li moute kabann, li kouche, li bay figi l' nan panno, li derefize manje.
And he said to them, If they come forth peaceably, take them alive; and if they come forth to war, take them alive:
5 Jezabèl, madanm li, vin bò kote l'. Li mande l': -Sa ou genyen ou move konsa? Poukisa ou pa manje?
and let not the young men the heads of the districts go forth of the city. And the force that was behind them
6 Akab reponn, li di li: -M' pale ak Nabòt, nonm Jizreyèl la. Mwen mande l' pou l' vann mwen jaden rezen l' lan, osinon si li pito, m'a ba li yon lòt pou li. Men, li di m' li p'ap ban mwen jaden l' lan.
smote each one the man next to him; and each one a second time smote the man next to him: and Syria fled, and Israel pursued them; and the son of Ader, [even] the king of Syria, escapes on the horse of a horseman.
7 Jezabèl di li: -Kouman! Se pa ou ki wa nan peyi Izrayèl la ankò? Leve non, monchè! Manje manje ou, fè kè ou kontan. Mwen pral ba ou jaden rezen Nabòt la.
And the king of Israel went forth, and took all the horses and the chariots, and smote [the enemy] with a great slaughter in Syria.
8 Jezabèl ekri kèk lèt, li siyen non Akab anba yo, li sele yo ak so wa a, epi li voye yo bay chèf fanmi ak otorite ki rete lavil Jizreyèl menm kote ak Nabòt.
And the prophet came to the king of Israel, and said, Strengthen thyself, and observe, and see what thou shalt do; for at the return of the year the son of Ader king of Syria comes up against thee.
9 Men sa li voye di yo nan lèt yo: Sanble tout moun pou yon sèvis jèn. Mande Nabòt pou li dirije sèvis la.
And the servants of the king of Syria, even they said, The God of Israel [is] a God of mountains, and not a God of valleys; therefore has he prevailed against us: but if we should fight against them in the plain, verily we shall prevail against them.
10 Lèfini, jwenn de vakabon, fè yo vin kanpe devan l' pou yo akize l'. y'a di li derespekte Seyè a ansanm ak wa a. Lè sa a, n'a pran Nabòt, n'a trennen l' andeyò limit lavil la, n'a kalonnen l' wòch jouk li mouri.
And do thou this thing: Send away the kings, each one to his place, and set princes in their stead.
11 Chèf fanmi yo ak otorite lavil Jizreyèl yo fè tou sa Jezabèl ba yo lòd fè nan lèt yo.
And we will give thee [another] army according to the army that was destroyed, and cavalry according to the cavalry, and chariots according to the chariots, and we will fight against them in the plain, and we shall prevail against them. And he hearkened to their voice, and did so.
12 Yo fè konnen yo pral fè sèvis jèn. Yo fè tout pèp la sanble, yo mete Nabòt devan pou dirije sèvis la.
And it came to pass at the return of the year, that the son of Ader reviewed Syria, and went up to Apheca to war against Israel.
13 De vakabon vin rive, yo kanpe devan Nabòt, yo akize msye devan tout pèp la. Yo di li derespekte Bondye ansanm ak wa a. Lamenm, yo pran Nabòt, yo mennen l' andeyò limit lavil la, yo kalonnen li wòch jouk li mouri.
And the children of Israel were numbered, and came to meet them: and Israel encamped before them as two little flocks of goats, but Syria filled the land.
14 Apre sa, yo voye di Jezabèl: -Nou kalonnen Nabòt wòch, li mouri.
And there came the man of God, and said to the king of Israel, Thus saith the Lord, Because Syria has said, The Lord God of Israel [is] a God of the hills, and he [is] not a God of the valleys, therefore will I give this great army into thy hand, and thou shalt know that I [am] the Lord.
15 Resevwa Jezabèl resevwa nouvèl lanmò Nabòt, l' al di Akab: -Leve non. Al pran jaden rezen Nabòt, nonm lavil Jizreyèl la, pou ou, jaden li te refize vann ou an. Nabòt pa nan moun isit ankò, li mouri.
And they encamp one over against the other before them seven days. And it came to pass on the seventh day that the battle drew on, and Israel smote Syria, [even] a hundred thousand footmen in one day.
16 Lè wa Akab tande Nabòt, nonm lavil Jizreyèl la, te mouri, l' ale, li pran jaden rezen an pou li.
And the rest fled to Apheca, into the city; and the wall fell upon twenty-seven thousand men that were left: and the son of Ader fled, and entered into an inner chamber, into a closet.
17 Lè sa a, Seyè a pale ak Eli, pwofèt lavil Tichbe a, li di l' konsa:
And he said to his servants, I know that the kings of Israel are merciful kings: let us now put sackcloth upon our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and let us go forth to the king of Israel, if by any means he will save our souls alive.
18 -Al jwenn wa Akab nan peyi Samari. W'ap jwenn li koulye a nan jaden rezen Nabòt la. Li vin pran l' pou li.
So they girt sackcloth upon their loins, and put ropes upon their heads, and said to the king of Israel, Thy servant the son of Ader says, Let our souls live, I pray thee. And he said, Does he yet live? He is my brother.
19 W'a di li men mesaj Seyè a voye ba li: Ou fin touye Nabòt, koulye a ou soti pou pran jaden rezen l' lan! Apre sa, w'a di l' ankò men sa Seyè a voye di ou: Menm kote chen te niche san Nabòt la, chen gen pou yo niche san pa ou tou.
And the men divined, and offered drink-offerings; and they caught the word out of his mouth, and said, Thy brother the son of Ader. And he said, Go ye in and fetch him. And the son of Ader went out to him, and they cause him to go up to him into the chariot.
20 Lè Akab wè Eli, li di l' konsa: -Enben, lènmi mwen, ou jwenn mwen jòdi a! Eli reponn, li di l': -Wè! Mwen jwenn ou paske se renk move bagay w'ap plede fè devan Seyè a.
And he said to him, The cities which my father took from thy father I will restore to thee; and thou shalt make streets for thyself in Damascus, as my father made streets in Samaria; and I will let thee go with a covenant. And he made a covenant with him, and let him go.
21 Men mesaj Seyè a voye ba ou: M'ap voye yon gwo malè sou ou. Mwen pral disparèt ou. Mwen pral touye dènye gason, granmoun kou timoun, nan fanmi ou.
And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his neighbour by the word of the Lord, Smite me, I pray, And the man would not smite him.
22 Sa ki te rive fanmi wa Jewoboam, pitit Nebat la, ak fanmi wa Bacha, pitit Akija a, se sa ki pral rive fanmi pa ou la tou. Se mwen menm k'ap fè sa paske ou fè m' fache anpil, lèfini se ou ki lakòz pèp Izrayèl la ap fè sa ki mal.
And he said to him, Because thou hast not hearkened to the voice of the Lord, therefore, behold, as thou departest from me, a lion shall smite thee: and he departed from him, and a lion found him, and smote him.
23 Men sa Seyè a di sou Jezabèl: Chen gen pou manje kadav li nan mitan lavil Jizreyèl.
And he finds another man, and says, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man smote him, and in smiting wounded [him].
24 Chen pral manje kadav tout moun nan fanmi Akab ki va mouri anndan lavil la. Malfini karanklou va manje kadav tout moun nan fanmi an ki va mouri andeyò limit lavil la.
And the prophet went and stood before the king of Israel by the way, and bound his eyes with a bandage.
25 Pa janm gen pesonn mechan tankou Akab. Li te lage kò l' nèt nan fè sa ki mal devan Seyè a. Li te kite madanm li, Jezabèl, pran tèt li.
And it came to pass as the king passed by, that he cried aloud to the king, and said, Thy servant went out to war, and, behold, a man brought [another] man to me, and said to me, Keep his man; and if he should by any means escape, then thy life shall go for his life, or thou shalt pay a talent of silver.
26 Li te fè bagay ki lèd nèt, l' al fè sèvis pou vye zidòl tankou moun Amori yo te fè l' la. Se moun Amori sa yo Seyè a te mete deyò nan peyi a pou fè plas pou moun Izrayèl yo.
And it came to pass, that thy servant looked round this way and that way, and the man was gone. And the king of Israel said to him, Behold, thou hast also destroyed snares [set] for me.
27 Lè Eli fin pale, Akab pran lapenn, li chire rad sou li, li mete yon rad sak, li rete san manje. Ata dòmi li dòmi ak rad sak la sou li. Li t'ap mache kagou.
And he hasted, and took away the bandage from his eyes; and the king of Israel recognized him, that he was one of the prophets.
28 Apre sa, Seyè a pale ak Eli, moun lavil Tichbe a, li di l' konsa:
And he said to him, Thus saith the Lord, Because thou hast suffered to escape out of thine hand a man appointed to destruction, therefore thy life shall go for his life, and thy people for his people.
29 -Ou wè jan Akab vin dou nan pye m'! Paske li fè sa, m'ap tann li mouri anvan m' voye malè a sou fanmi li. Se va pandan rèy pitit gason l' lan m'a voye malè sou fanmi l'.
And the king of Israel departed confounded and discouraged, and came to Samaria.
